After a couple of cancelled flights and close to 24 hours of straight travel, Tom finally made it back to Chicago. We are now officially counting down before our departure. We will be leaving in 7-9 days...depending on how quickly our visa's get finalized. We are super excited to finally be off on our adventure! For a few weeks now, it seems like it has been a bit of a waiting game so we are anxious to get over there.
But, as excited as we are, we are equally if not more sad to be leaving our favorite people. We were so fortunate to spend Saturday night with Tom's family having a nice family dinner and get together. We decided to spend the night over there to get some extra precious time in with our nieces, Estella and Ana Lucia, and sleep in a real bed instead of on an air mattress. Thanks for a great dinner Katie! It's funny how once you are aware of the finite time you have before you will be leaving how you really become aware of each and every moment and feel so blessed to have it! Fortunately, with all of the great technology we will only be a quick skype call away!
